Process Design & Detail Engineering - Certificate Program

Process Design Engineering is at the heart of much of the chemical, oil, gas, and petrochemical industries. The process design engineering deals with transportation and transformation of solids, liquids and gases in sync with other engineering disciplines including Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation etc. The other activities of specific importance are separation processes including distillation, heat transfer, hydraulics and fluid flow, reaction engineering, but also process control and economics. These are the fundamental principles of process engineering. This course considers the areas of process engineering that are most commonly encountered, and will provide a detail understanding of the fundamentals to the non-specialist, and a refresher to practicing engineers, with examples that will be drawn from a range of process industries including oil and gas processing, petrochemicals, chemical manufacturing.

Career Options

Piping Stress Engineers has great scope in India & Abroad. Piping Engineering is a specialized engineering discipline that deals with the planning and layout of a robust piping system with an aim to effectively transport fluids, such as liquids and gases, from one point to the other within a process plant or a commercial building.

 

Owing to the fact that pipes are quite elementary to our day-to-day needs and to industries such as Oil & Gas, Energy, Construction, Manufacturing, Chemical etc., there is always a need for trained and skilled Piping Stress Engineers who can support & ensure the design safety, implementation and maintenance of complex and large-scale piping systems for these industries.​

Program Eligibility

Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering with relevant work experience from any recognized University or an equivalent degree recognized by Association of Indian Universities (AIU) with minimum 50% marks at Graduation Level.
